  1. i installed xampp. [quote]Its not possible from the code you have supplied to say whether the $text variables are either an array or part of the database. There is no association between $text and data in your database.  There would be a couple of lines in there after the database connection and database selection to select data. Something like:- $somequery = "Select......"; $somequeryresult("$somequery"); $text = mysql_fetch_array($somequeryresult); to give an indication that the $text variables contain your database records. Nor is there an association between $text and it being an array containing data.  There is no array initialisation.  Something like:- $text = array($variable1, $variable2,.....$variableN)). Quite frankly it doesnt look like the $text values do anything at all. What does this code do when you run it?  You have included a screen grab of what the page is supposed to look like when viewed in a browser but from the code you've posted I just dont see how the code and output match up.[/quote] The screen grab is what results from the code. for example [b]=$TEXT['cds-head'] [/b] shows as [b]CD Collection (Example for PHP+MySQL+PDF Class)[/b] What I think is that $TEXT is some kind of global array. Going though some of the files, I found several instances of $TEXT['  '], i just haven't been able to find where the array is taking the information from. And i don't think it is the database because i checked it an in this case it has only one table with 4 fields. It does look as it has been initialized somewhere else, in this case the filename is cds.php and the $TEXT values are ['cds-head'], ['cds-text1']....., and i have another file called biorythim.php which is another example and there's also some $TEXT values like ['bio-head'], ['bio-ok']. I used to program in ASP and there were session variables, im wondering if $TEXT is something like that . anyways thanks for the help.
  2. thanks for the fast replies. now, my specific question is what is : =$TEXT['[b]cds-head[/b]'] =$TEXT['[b]cds-text1[/b]'] =$TEXT['[b]cds-text2[/b]'] in this case is not relevant if its an array of if the code isn't doing anything useful but im wondering is where is the value of that coming from. why [i]'cds-head'[/i] shows as [i]CD Collection (Example for PHP+MySQL+PDF Class)[/i] for example is cds-head part of the database ? where was the info added into the array ?
  3. well i'm kinda new to php but not to programming. i just installed a server package on my pc ( apache, php, mysql, etc.... ) and it comes with some examples, one of them is about retrieving some data from a database, i understand most of whats going on except for a few lines that retrieve some info which i have NO idea where it's coming from. here is the code from the file: [code]<html> <head> <title>apachefriends.org cd collection</title> <link href="xampp.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body> &nbsp;<p> <h1><?=$TEXT['cds-head']?></h1> <?=$TEXT['cds-text1']?><p> <?=$TEXT['cds-text2']?><p> <? if(!mysql_connect("localhost","root","######")) { echo "<h2>".$TEXT['cds-error']."</h2>"; die(); } mysql_select_db("cdcol"); ?> <h2><?=$TEXT['cds-head1']?></h2> <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr bgcolor=#f87820> <td><img src=img/blank.gif width=10 height=25></td> <td class=tabhead><img src=img/blank.gif width=200 height=6><br><b><?=$TEXT['cds-attrib1']?></b></td> <td class=tabhead><img src=img/blank.gif width=200 height=6><br><b><?=$TEXT['cds-attrib2']?></b></td> <td class=tabhead><img src=img/blank.gif width=50 height=6><br><b><?=$TEXT['cds-attrib3']?></b></td> <td class=tabhead><img src=img/blank.gif width=50 height=6><br><b><?=$TEXT['cds-attrib4']?></b></td> <td><img src=img/blank.gif width=10 height=25></td> </tr> [/code] What is [b]=$TEXT['cds-head']?[/b] doing for example ??? i know that i retrieve the info from the database through [b]mysql_select_db("cdcol");[/b] but what are all the =$TEXT[ ]  mean ? the page looks like this :  [img]http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/3663/questionphpbp6.jpg[/img] As you can see, =$TEXT['cds-head'] = CD Collection (Example for PHP+MySQL+PDF Class) =$TEXT['cds-text1'] = A very simple CD programm. =$TEXT['cds-text2'] = CD list as PDF document. my question is, where did this words came from ? i've been the whole day trying to understand that part of the code but im unable to figure it out. thanks in advance for the help. ???
